The most famous burial in the East cemetery is probably Karl Marx (whose tomb's attempted bombings on 2 September 1965 and in 1970 are still recalled by some Highgate residents), and it is celebrated by a memorial (he was buried nearby).
There are many other prominent figures, Victorian and otherwise, buried at Highgate Cemetery. Most of the historically notable figures lie in the Western part. Tours of the most famous graves are available, but due to vandalism and souvenir hunters visitors are no longer allowed to explore unaccompanied, unless they have a personal connection with the cemetery and thus hold a pass.
